The intriguing beauty of the Botanical
gardens with its serene atmosphere does not only hold residence to numerous
rare bird species, it is also a quiet and remote haven where different
members of Grahamstown retreat to get closer to nature.

From students
enjoying a picnic during weekend to locals in search of peace, the botanical
gardens are a perfect refuge away from the madding crowd. Come in the
mornings or at sunset you are sure to spot nature loving elders walking
their dogs on the green slopes of the century old gardens.
